Infection at tracheostomy site in neck

Family and friends,

Tonight was a rough night for Bob. He spent the night neaseous and throwing up every hour (even though he didn't eat anything all day). We think it might be from switching from the dilaudid to morphine. The nurse had to give him ambien just so he could get some sleep.

When we woke up this morning the nurse came in and hung a precaution sign on Bobs door saying everyone who comes in has to wear mask, gloves, and blue gown. She said he has some type of infection at the wound site in his neck. It takes 3 days or so to figure out exactly what he has because they grow it in a pietri dish so we are still waiting. Bob is tired sore and miserable. He is NOT checking his email or texts or phone calls.

Please keep Bob in your thoughts and prayers.

Love and thanks,
Michele
